Xenith Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 What am I missing? The codex is telling me that BA assault squads are still Fast Attack choices, not Troops. Mind you, go unbound if needs be lol. You're missing the fact that this thread is from 2013 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaezus Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Also missing the fact that assault squads don't define BA jump. It's...somewhat broader than that, but you need to look at the dex. With 10-man Sanguinary Guards now, these are way more playable than before. Stick a character with them, i.e. priest. And check out the new Dante, he is just AWESOME. 15-man Death Company and the ability to take more than one without Astorath. Jump-pack command squads with melta / storm shields. Our assault marines can take two meltaguns, plus two inferno pistols on the sarge, and these are an awesome suicide unit but best used in pods. That said, it depends if you're playing just for fun or aiming to win a little, as pure jump armies will get out-gunned and out-manoevred easily. Synergy is the beauty of our new dex, but we're probably not the easiest army to master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 What's this talk of Korvydae? I'm out of the loop because I've been ultra busy at work. Is this a special character from Exterminatus who makes ASM troops again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 No, Korvydae is a named Ravenguard captain from Forgeworld. His rules are in IA 8 p. 112. He makes ASM troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Aha, thanks Quixus. I still think a BA jump army will be much stronger with +1 S, +1 I on the charge and access to Sanguinary priests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
